Fluid flow in deformable porous media imparts and viscous drag on the solid matrix, causing deformation. Likewise, flow through reactive porous media may cause dissolution, precipitation, freezing and melting. Here we will review the theoretical framework for compaction and dissolution in porous media, and introduce a new method for measuring the permeability and bulk modulus of complex porous media.
